About



The professional association for language and literature.

The Mississippi Philological Association hosts an annual conference for professors, graduate students, writers, poets, and those interested in language and literature. We also publish POMPA, Publications of the Mississippi Philological Association, available now on this site, with selections of outstanding work presented at the conference.
